A 15-year study of osseointegrated implants in the treatment of the edentulous jaw

Retrieval of a fractured abutment screw thread from an implant: a case report

“…[1][2][3][4] The longevity of an implant retained or supported prosthesis is dependent upon both biological and mechanical factors. Biologically, long-term osseointegration is sensitive to atraumatic implant place ment and restoration.…”

A comparative analysis of periimplant bone levels of immediate and conventionally loaded implants

“…The rationale behind this approach is that micromovement of the implant caused by the functional forces around the boneeimplant interface during the wound healing may induce fibrous tissue formation between implant and bone rather than desired boneeimplant contact, leading to clinical failure. 9 To prevent this clinicians have attempted to reduce or minimize the concentration of forces, by avoiding the functional loading of the implant before it achieves proper osseointegration.…”

From Bench to Bedside: A Perfect Fit? Osseointegration Can Improve Function for Patients with Amputations

“…The author received no financial support for this editorial. [1]. These concepts were further extrapolated to bone-anchored hearing aids and related implants [7], and the use of osseointegration has persisted in this arena to the present day.…”
